20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 171 Youshi·Fengtian Three Families

Guangyuan Bank, a branch in the north of the city.

Su Wenqi, escorted by several followers, returned here, exhausted both physically and mentally.

Since the dispute with his father Su Yuansheng, he has not returned to the Su family mansion for nearly a year. It seems inevitable that he will drift away from his family. Turning his back on the family, no matter whether he is sad or happy, he will inevitably feel a little lonely.

As soon as he entered the study, the old man who was in charge of the accounting knocked on the door, walked closer, and called in a low voice: "Master."

"Say." Su Wenqi put his arm on the armrest of the chair and pressed his temples.

"Master, when you were not here just now, Zhang Long sent Tan Renjun and others to come over again to ask for money."

"Why do you want money again?" Su Wenqi frowned and asked, "Didn't I just give them 5000 yuan last month?"

The old man's surname is Chen Mingzhong, he is in his 50s. When Su Yuansheng was the housekeeper, he was his right-hand man in business, so he was naturally loyal.

"Master, they said that money has been tight in Liaoyang recently, and they want us to sponsor more." Chen Zhong said with a troubled face, "They also asked me to give you a message, saying that this is a national plan, don't worry about money. , a picture of salvation..."

It’s still the same thing!
"Okay, okay!"

Su Wenqi waved his hand impatiently.

Recently, Wei Tianqing and Zhang Long, the leaders of the rebellion, have appointed Shang Zhen, Xu Jingxin and others to secretly go to Liaoyang to carry out an uprising. In conjunction with the turbulent situation in southern Liaoning, they will encircle the provincial capital Fengtian.

Su Wenqi is passionate about revolution. Although he has not officially joined the League, as one of the many financial backers behind it, he certainly knows a thing or two about it.

No matter how full your ideals are, it is still difficult to achieve without money.

After thinking for a moment, Su Wenqi asked: "How much do they want this time?"

"Uh... Sigh! Master, I don't know how to count, I just say the more the merrier."

"Then, give them another 5000 yuan!"

"Master, Master! Don't be impatient. Can you let me say a word?"

Chen Zhong, an old friend, quickly took the opportunity to interject: "I am now too old and confused to see the current situation clearly, but I have been looking at this account book all my life, and I am not dazzled. Young Master, these gangs have no way of overthrowing the Revolutionary Party." It’s a bottomless pit! It costs three thousand today and five thousand tomorrow. Just last year, the money our family spent on it was no less than twenty thousand! If this continues, I don’t know if this country can be saved. This business is in danger. It will be destroyed soon.”

Su Wenqi replied: "I've seen the account books, it's not like I can't bear it!"

"Hey! Master, let's put it aside. With this plan, we won't earn a penny all year round. But in the six months of the plague, many accounts have not been collected, and it is impossible to destroy the family and rescue the people! Moreover, that Zhang Longzhi Senior, take money, stay in hotels, whorehouses, and smoke cigarettes, what the hell is this?"

Su Wenqi didn't want to hear any more, waved his hand and said: "Then I will use my own money to pay for it first."

Chen Zhong was startled when he heard this. He knew that he could not persuade the young master, so he had to sigh, shook his head, and retreated.

After a while, Qian Boshun walked in with a smile again.

"Congratulations, young master! This time, with the help of 'Hai Lao Owl' and the others, Bai Baochen was killed, the textile factory was bombed, and all the Bai family supporters were wiped out; Zhou Yunfu was old and lost his troops. Now, in the world of Fengtian, our Su family has the same say. , when you are elected as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, it won’t matter whether you clean up your innocence or support the corruption.”

What he said was correct, but Su Wenqi couldn't be happy.

He originally wanted to run for the position of president of the Chamber of Commerce through formal, reasonable and legal channels, but he found out that the president's election was full of dirt and evil, and it would be impossible to do so unless extraordinary means were used.

This has deviated from his original intention of clearing his family's name.

If a small chamber of commerce is involved in an election, how much more important is it to the country?

Qian Boxun saw the young master's thoughts and comforted him with a smile: "There is no need to be too impatient. As long as we can gain a firm foothold, the Su family will be safe and sound. The advantage lies with me. If we make progress slowly, we will be able to achieve our wish."

"Do you really think the Su family is safe and sound?" Su Wenqi asked.

Qian Boxun was stunned for a moment and said: "When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman wins. The Zhou and Bai families are defeated, but of course they are safe and sound."

Su Wenqi followed the window, looked into the distance, and murmured to himself.

"On the contrary, I feel that the Su family is more dangerous than ever."

……

……

To the west of Fengtian City, there is Bai Guoping's outer house.

Bai Baochen's half-drawn body has been handed over to the Bai family by the patrol station. At present, a tent is set up in the yard, and the whole family is crying.

Mr. Bai left behind eight concubines, four daughters, and a young son under the age of six, plus grandchildren, granddaughters, and relatives from far and near. There were dozens of people in the family, who were howling in the dark.

Ladies and juniors can just cry, but Bai Guoping doesn't have that spare time.

In one day, extreme joy gives rise to sorrow.

As the eldest son of the family, Bai Guoping had to take the lead.

He left his wife and children, refused friends to come to express condolences, and stayed alone in the main room in the backyard, discussing countermeasures with a group of close friends.

Chu Liangsheng and Dong Shaode were lined up on the left and right, and when they opened their mouths, they were filled with troublesome news.

"Master, Miura just sent someone to inquire about the situation in the textile factory."

"People in Japan are concerned about whether they can still get their dividends this year."

"Master, the workers in the textile factory have started to gather and cause trouble. Xijiaxing said they are going to the Yamen to report to the officials!"

"Master, Yingkou Ma's shopkeeper sent a telegram asking him if the goods he ordered can still be delivered on time?"

"Master, all the shopkeepers who originally supported us are now asking for an explanation!"

"The Japanese people have said that if we can't handle this situation, they are willing to take over the textile factory entirely and put our name on it, but all operations and profits will belong to them."

"Fart!" Bai Guoping slapped the table angrily, finally unable to sit still, "They are taking advantage of the situation! If it's just in the name of the Bai family, what's the point of cooperation? I'm a fucking part-time worker!"

Everyone was suddenly silent.

A discerning person can tell at a glance that the Japanese are trying to kill the donkey.

The Japanese support the Bai family, which is not a favor in the first place. It is simply because the British and American forces do not want any Japanese or Russian family to dominate the Northeast.

The Japanese did not dare to blatantly expand their territories, so they looked for agents everywhere, bought land, and infiltrated business. Once they became fully fledged, there would be no need for agents like the Bai family.

Those who betray the country and seek glory will seize a large number of them and overthrow your Bai family, as well as the Hei family, Huang family, Lan family...

"Tell Miura Xiongsuke! Our Bai family can handle this little thing!" Bai Guoping said angrily, "Zhou Yunfu, an old man, is going to use 'sea owl' to play 'duizi' with my Bai family? Sooner or later I will die Kill him and crush his bones into ashes!"

Speaking of this, Bai Guoping couldn't help but ask: "The son of Lao Liu, Lao Qi and 'Owl' has not been found yet?"

Chu Liangsheng shook his head helplessly.

"'Chuan'erhong', can't you pry it open?"

"That bitch is too harsh!" Dong Shaode seemed to be frightened. "He was severely punished, but he didn't say anything. Master, to be honest, I doubt...she, she might really not know."

"Bullshit!" Bai Guoping said angrily, "Even if you don't know where they are, you definitely know where they are meeting! Give her a hard time. Don't you think the Black Hats have their tricks? Use them on her." !”

"Okay, I, I'll do it later." "Also, I don't know where Zhou Yunfu's old friend is now?" Bai Guoping asked again.

Chu Liangsheng replied: "We have sent people to Heshengfang and Huifangli to keep an eye on them. However, let alone Zhou Yunfu, not even Han Ce is watching."

"Still fucking staring at you!" Bai Guoping was worried that he couldn't satisfy his hatred. "The black blind man is dead. Go call Old Dog Huang over and ask him to find a few capable beaters to smash the 'Huifangli' for me." !”

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from the door of the room - "No!"

Looking around, he saw a rather tall middle-aged woman with a wide forehead, high nose, red lips and phoenix eyes. She was wearing a plain white filial piety shirt. She opened the door and strode into the house.

When everyone saw that this was Bai Baochen's eldest daughter and Bai Guoping's eldest sister - Bai Yuqing - they quickly lowered their heads and said in unison: "Auntie."

Bai Guoping felt that he was undermining his authority and quickly stood up and said: "Sister, if you don't go to the wake, what are you doing here? This is a matter between men. You are a womanizer, so don't interfere!"

"You think I like to get involved?"

Bai Yuqing didn't give in, walked to sit down next to her brother, and said, "If dad were still here, I wish I wouldn't care about anything and just eat, drink and have fun at home every day!"

Bai Guoping curled his lips and snorted: "What do you care about? It's hard to take care of children, what ideas can you have!"

……

……

At [-]:[-] in the afternoon, Zhujiazhuang, the southwest suburb of Fengtian.

The road is paved with loess and covered with chicken excrement. Walk a few steps in from the east end of the village and turn to the left - a small farmhouse that is so ordinary and boring.

Standing at the door, one can hear pigs grunting, cows mooing, and chickens cooing in the yard.

Someone is cooking in the kitchen, and the sound of cooking pots and the aroma of vegetables flow out of the yard.

Amidst the commotion, a few conversations could be faintly heard.

"Bai Baochen is really dead?"

Zhou Yunfu leaned against the hot bed. Not long after the weather turned cooler, the old man's familiar small brazier started to burn.

The nephew Han Ce stayed by his side as usual, sitting on the chair beside the Kang. It was a little hot, and he leaned down and said: "The informants in the city said that people were blown into two pieces and died completely. It is probably the palace." Baonan did it.”

"It's amazing, it's amazing!"

Zhou Yunfu couldn't help but feel so beautiful while listening to Han Ce's report.

"Then the remaining few of them have run away?"

"I don't know. Anyway, there is no news about them in the city now." Han Ce explained, "However, I heard that 'Chuan'erhong' was captured by the Japanese. If they know the news, even if they leave, they should be gone." Will be back."

Zhou Yunfu nodded and said: "Logically speaking, he should come back."

Seeing this, Han Ce couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, 'Chuan'erhong' is in the hands of the Japanese. Do we need help to clear it out and find a way to get her out?"

"What are you doing here for?" Zhou Yunfu snorted coldly, "She made her own decisions and had to help Jiang Chenghai. She deserves to be caught now!"

"But, if our business in Huifangli is without Sister Hong..."

Zhou Yunfu raised his hand and interrupted: "A new generation replaces the old one, Jiang Chenghai, Xu Ruqing, and Chen Wantang, these are all my former sons. Nephew, if you want to take over from me in the future, you will not You should replace it with your own people. Now that something like this has happened, it can be considered a smooth sailing."

Han Ce was thoughtful and asked again: "Uncle, what should we do next? The Bai family's vitality is severely damaged now, so why not eat them all in one breath!"

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yunfu muttered: "The Bai family's vitality is severely damaged, what about us? Isn't it the same?"

Han Ce was stunned.

Thinking about it carefully, although Bai Baochen died, the Bai family is still prosperous and has successors.

Moreover, the Zhou family's own losses to Chen Wantang, Jiang Chenghai and Xu Ruqing were not much worse than those of the Bai family in terms of tragedy.

"Uncle, what do you mean-"

"No more fighting, no more fighting!"

Zhou Yunfu moved his butt down, lying sideways on the kang, and picked up the big smoking gun again.

Han Ce cooperated very well to pack cigarettes and light the fire for his uncle.

Zhou Yunfu took a few puffs and exhaled a burst of smoke, seemingly finally returning to his original leisurely and contented state.

"If we fight again, that boy from the Su family will take advantage!"

"Then we can't just sit outside all the time!" Han Ce still missed the days in Fengtian City.

"Nonsense, what do you mean? Do you think I like staying in this miserable place?" Zhou Yunfu reached out to the brazier on the ground, rubbed it, and said, "But before we go back, we have to make peace with the Bai family. "

"What? Talk about, talk about peace?" Han Ce was dumbfounded, "Uncle! Their master just died in our hands, go and talk about peace? What can they do!"

Zhou Yunfu actually didn't have much confidence, but he still said: "With so many people in the Bai family, there should be one or two sensible people who can make peace with us."

In the old man's opinion, both families have suffered heavy losses now, and if they continue to fight, it will be purely motivated, and they will disregard everything just to vent their anger.

Zhou Yunfu has no heirs, and the only person he is closest to is his nephew. He is not afraid of fighting to the death.

But the young and old of the Bai family have a lot to worry about if they really have to fight hard.

The so-called harm to the family is just a matter of dignity. If you really want to kill someone, you will definitely attack the other party's sore spot.

"After all the fighting and killing, it's time to talk about the world."

"I'm afraid we are just wishful thinking." Han Ce said, "If we want to talk, we must at least have a bargaining chip."

"Don't we have chips!" Zhou Yunfu chuckled, his shoulders shaking, "Guan Wei, Gong Baonan, and Jiang Xiaodao are still alive!"

"Sold them?" Han Ce's eyes lit up, but then dimmed quickly, "But I don't know where they are now!"

"If they were still in Fengtian, wouldn't it be easy to find them? Are all your men dead?"

"This... I'm not sure. Anyway, last night, when I sent people to 'Heshengfang' to collect the bodies, they had already left."

"Where's that Zhao Guoyan?"

"Him?" Han Ce was even more surprised. "Hasn't he been killed by Jiang Chenghai?"

Zhou Yunfu kept the secret and just whispered: "Go and find Mr. Zhang Jiu and leave the peace talks to him!"
